State officials in Virginia are upset over what has been revealed in a revised report on how campus officials at Virginia Tech responded to the 2007 shootings on campus in which 32 people were killed by a troubled student, Seung-Hui Cho, who officials were aware had psychological problems.

The new report says some university officials warned their own families and locked down the president's office at least 90 minutes before issuing a general alert on campus. That delay in notifying the vast number of students and faculty on campus to the deadly situation troubled the state's governor.
